    10 de enero de 2018, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

    Woke up this morning and went for a walk, or should I say, climb through the caves. It was very dark and the ceiling was quite low at ties forcing us to really crouch down but the little sparkly lava worms were glowing like crazy so it was worth trapsing through the mud and listening to Amayah whine most of the time about how disgusting the mud was in between her feet and how she couldn’t’ see anything in the dark except for the glow worms (which was really the point of the exercise!) Anyway, after our little adventure in the caves, we set off again and drove all the way to Paihia – a beautiful little town in the Bay of Islands. The weather is terrific today and we enjoyed a swim in the river and a walk into town to the quaint little shops and then a swim at the beach. There were so many yachts, boats, kayak and islands everywhere. We checked into a powered site at Wangia, a couple of kms north of Paihia. The drive was really worth it (as everyone had told us) and we spent the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the most perfect weather in the Northland. Dinner outside by the river.Leer más

    We were contemplating staying another day in beautiful Paihai, but decided to go again and head back halfway to Auckland. So we drove down to Waipo Cove – another little town by the beach with the most wonderful beach with, wait for it…waves!!!! We were super excited and spent hours enjoying the lovely weather, the clean sand and a wonderful steel drumming band playing in the park by the beach. Headed over to Ruakaka for another freedom camping night by the beach. Our holiday is slowly coming to an end, but it has been so great to relax a little these last couple of days.Leer más
